WTF?! In 2017 Women Are STILL EXILED During Their Periods

THERE IS SOME POSITIVE NEWS COMING OUT OF NEPAL, WHERE THEY
HAVE DECIDED, LAWMAKERS HAVE DECIDED TO NOT ONLY UNLOAD THE
CUSTOM OF EXILING WOMEN WHO ARE MENSTRUATING BUT THEY ARE
ACTUALLY GOING TO ENFORCE IT BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT THAT
THEY PASS THESE LAWS SOMETIME AGO, BUT APPARENTLY, THERE
WASN'T REALLY GREAT ENFORCEMENT OF IT.
THE ANCIENT HINDU TRADITION OF CHHAUPADI WHERE WOMEN ARE
CONFINED TO HUTS WHILE MENSTRUATING WAS BANNED IN 2005
BUT IT WASN'T BEEN ENFORCED PROPERLY SO NOW LAWMAKERS HAVE
MADE THE PENALTIES FOR VIOLATING THIS LAW A LITTLE MORE HARSH.
THEY'RE REALLY BEING THROWN OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND FORCED TO
LIVE IN THESE SHEDS UNTIL THEY'RE DONE MENSTRUATING.
I BELIEVE IN THE CULTURE WARS AND YOU DON'T REALLY HEAR A
LOT OF PEOPLE SAYING THAT, BUT I DO.
I FIGHT CULTURAL CONSERVATIVES HERE IN AMERICA AND I FIGHT
THEM IN THE REST OF THE WORLD.
I'M NOT A BIG BELIEVER IN RELIGION TO SAY THE LEAST,
ANY OF THEM.
AND I AM NOT BIG BELIEVER IN YOUR TRADITIONS.
HAVE THEM, THANKSGIVING IS WONDERFUL.
BUT HALF OF THEM ARE HORRIFIC AND IT IS INTERESTING,
SCIENTISTS HAVE DONE STUDIES OF PEOPLE WHO ARE LIBERAL OR
CONSERVATIVE AND THEY HAVE DIFFERENT VALUES, LITERALLY.
THEIR BRAINS ARE STRUCTURED A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE CONSERVATIVES VALUE, AND THIS IS
UNIVERSAL WHICH PROGRESSIVES DON'T PUT AS MUCH VALUE ON
IS TRADITION.
THINGS BEING THE SAME.
THAT IS WHY LIBERALS ARE FOR CHANGE AND CONSERVATIVES
ARE NOT.
THEY ARE GENERAL WAY OF LOOKING AT IT, SO NOT EVERY CONSERVATIVE
THINKS THIS WAY, COURSE BUT THEY VALUE TRADITION FOR THE SAKE OF
TRADITION WHICH I THINK, I KNOW, I'M SORRY YOUR BRAIN IS
STRUCTURED THAT WAY BUT YOU ARE WRONG.
IT IS AN IRRATIONAL DECISION.
IT ISN'T JUST FOR THE SAKE OF TRADITION THOUGH.
THERE WERE BRAIN SCANS DONE ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO I BELIEVE
WHERE THEY LOOKED AT THE DIFFERENCES IN A CONSERVATIVES
BRAIN VERSUS A LIBERALS BRAIN AND THEY NOTICED THAT THE
AMYGDALA IS DIFFERENT AND THE FEAR CENTER SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE
LARGER FOR PEOPLE WHO IDENTIFY AS CONSERVATIVE AND THE
REASON I BRING THAT UP AS I BELIEVE PEOPLE WHO LATCH
ONTO TRADITION DON'T JUST DO SO FOR THE SICK OF TRADITION.
I THINK THEY DO IT BECAUSE CHANGE CAN BE SCARY.
SO
WHEN YOU KNOWN SOMETHING YOUR ENTIRE LIFE AND ALL THE SUDDEN
THOSE TRADITIONS ARE CHANGING, THAT MEANS PEOPLE AND COME TO
NO, YOU ARE RIGHT BUT IT IS ACTUALLY A DOUBLE WHAMMY.
THERE IS THE FEAR FACTOR BUT IT IS ALSO, IN ALMOST ALL
RELIGIONS, THIS IDEA OF PRESERVING YOUR HERITAGE,
YOUR TRADITIONS.
THEY VIEW THAT AS A PART OF BEING MORAL AND IT ACTUALLY
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MORALITY.
IT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HOW YOU RELATE TO
OTHER HUMAN BEINGS AND WHETHER YOU ARE DECENT TO THEM OR NOT.
IN FACT, LIKE IN THIS CASE, IT OFTEN LEADS TO DEEP IMMORALITY
AND SOMETIMES YOUR TRADITIONS ARE BASED ON THINGS THAT WERE
HIDEOUS, SLAVERY ETC. AND SOMETIMES THEY WERE BASED
ON THINGS THAT IN THE OLD DAYS IRRATIONAL.
THE REASON MUSLIMS AND JEWS DON'T EAT PORK IS BECAUSE
IT WAS A REALLY DANGEROUS THING TO DO 2000 YEARS AGO, 2500
YEARS AGO JUDAISM AND ROUGHLY 1300 YEARS AGO WITH ISLAM.
IF YOU DIDN'T COOK THE PORK PROBABLY ARE GOING TO GET
POISONED ANDÖ IS THE REASON WHY THAT REALLY EXISTED.
WE GOT A LITTLE BIT BETTER LOOKING PORK SO IS OUTDATED
BUT PEOPLE STILL FOLLOW IT BECAUSE TRADITION.
I DO THINK THAT FEAR IS BASED ON GRAVITATING TOWARD SOME SORT
OF LITERALISM THAT WILL REGULARLY YOUR WHAT YOUR
MORALISTIC UNIVERSE WILL LOOK LIKE.
IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU JUST KEEP WOMEN OUT IN THE SHED SO
THAT THEY WON'T TAINT YOU, THAT IS AN EASY MORAL UNIVERSE
TO LIVE IN VERSUS OKAY, WHAT DO?
SHE IS BLEEDING, HOW DO WE HIJACK RESPONDED THIS IN
THIS MOMENT?
WHAT IS THIS MEAN IN TERMS OF CHILD REARING, THE WHOLE SORT OF
BAG OF QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE WAS SOMEBODY HOW TO LISTEN IS
GOING THROUGH MENSTRUATION BUT IT'S JUST EASIER TO PUSH THE
PROBLEM ASIDE NOTHING PEOPLE WHO HAD GONE TO TRADITIONS OR
CULTURE OR CONSERVATIVES JUST WANT AN EASY WORLD TO LIVE IN,
MAYBE OUT OF FEAR OF WHAT IS THAT LOOK LIKE IF SOMEONE
IS NOT TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO BELIEVE, WHAT TO
SAY, IT MAKES YOUR LIFE EASIER.
SOMETIMES I DO WISH THAT I HAD THIS CLEAN-CUT BLACK-AND-WHITE
WAY OF LOOKING AT LIFE BECAUSE I'M CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT,
WHAT IS IN THIS MOMENT, HOW DO I QUICKLY THINK ABOUT SOMETHING?
YOU ARE ALSO CONSTANTLY EVALUATING OPTIONS WHEN YOU
ARE TRYING TO MAKE A DECISION.
AND THINGS COULD CHANGE THE
EXACTLY.
BUT ALSO, JUST GOING BACK TO THE WHOLE THING ABOUT WOMEN HAVING
THEIR PERIODS AND HOW THEY ARE FORCED TO GO LIVE IN SHEDS UNTIL
IT IS OVER, IT IS AMAZING BECAUSE IF YOU ARE
INFERTILE, SOCIETY LOOKS DOWN AT YOU.
YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO BEAR CHILDREN ANYMORE, SO YOU ARE NOT
CONSIDERED AS VALUABLE AND THAT THE SAME TIME, MEN'S TRADING IS
A SYMBOL OF FERTILITY AND YOU GET PUNISHED FOR THAT AS WELL.
DAMNED IF YOU DO DAMNED IF YOU DON'T.
IF YOU ARE A WOMAN, FOR SURE.
IT IS NOT THAT EASY
LIVING IN THE WORLD AS A WOMAN.
JUST TO ADDRESS YOU, MICHELLE BACHMAN IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF
WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THEIR BECAUSE SHE SAID, SHE WAS SO
CONFUSED AND SHOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO AND SO SHE FOUND JESUS AND
SHE JUST GAVE HER LIFE OVER TO HIM.
IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
YOU ARE STILL MAKING THE DECISIONS BUT IT JUST A
PSYCHOLOGICAL COMFORT.
I DON'T HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS ANYMORE, I WILL JUST
PRETEND WHATEVER I THINK JESUS THAT IS THE RIGHT ANSWER BECAUSE
I GOT NEWS FOR YOU, HE IS NOT TALKING TO MICHELLE BACHMAN.
CEDAR POINT, ANA, PART OF THE REASON I BROUGHT UP THE
POOR EXAMPLE IS THAT THERE MIGHT'VE BEEN AN INITIAL
REASON A COUPLE OF THOUSAND YEARS AGO ABOUT THE HYGIENE.
HEY, IF THE WOMAN HE WAS MEN'S TRADING IS IN THE PLACES THE
OTHERS, MAYBE THAT CAUSES OTHERS TO GET SICK BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T
KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THE HYGIENE, A COUPLE OF THOUSAND
YEARS AGO.
THE ANSWER TO THAT IS BETTER HYGIENE AND
EDUCATION, NOT HEY LET'S KEEP DOING THE SAME STUPID STUFF WE
WERE DOING 2000 YEARS AGO WHICH HAS HORRIBLE EFFECTS.
ONE OF THE WOMEN WHO DIED, IT WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS SO COLD IN
THE SHED SHE STARTED A FIRE IN AND SUFFOCATED IN THE
LITTLE HUT THAT THEY HAD.
THE OTHER GIRL GOT BITTEN BY A SNAKE AND DIED AS A
RESULT OF THAT.
THIS UNFORTUNATELY LEADS TO A LOT OF RAPE, PEOPLE DYING
FROM THE WEATHER CONDITIONS, ETC.
BUT YOU'LL TELL HINDUS, THIS PART OF YOUR TRADITION IS WRONG
AND THE CONSERVATIVE HINDUS WILL BE FURIOUS AND SAY HOW DARE YOU?
IT IS TRADITION AND THERE IS DIFFERENT TRADITIONS IN THE
SOUTH ASIAN SUBCONTINENT.
YOU CAN'T SHAVE YOUR BEARD.
IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT IS VOLUNTARY IN YOUR PART, YOU WANT
TO CELEBRATE YOUR CULTURE, THAT AT LEAST DOESN'T HURT ANYBODY.
HAVE ADDED TO THIS NO LOGIC IN IT.
THERE'S NO REASON WE HAVE TO DO IT, IT IS JUST AN OLD CUSTOM AND
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO CARRY AROUND IT DAGGER IF YOU ARE A SEEK.
I WOULD BRING IT TO AN AIRPORT.
ALL OF THE RELIGIONS ARE FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH NONSENSE, SO
JOE LIEBERMAN, WHEN HE WAS UNITED STATES SENATOR, HE IS AN
ORTHODOX JEWISH SO HE CAN'T PRESS ANY BUTTONS, CAN MAKE
ANYTHING WITH ELECTRICITY WORK SO HE WOULD MAKE HIS POOR
ASSISTANT SLIP OUT THERE TO THE SUBWAY TO PUSH THE BUTTONS
FOR THEM TO GET GOING TO CONGRESS.
YOU ARE NOT CHECKING GOD.
THIS IS ALL JUST NONSENSE AND YOU CAN HIT THE MESSENGER,
THAT IS FINE, BUT I ASSURE YOU THAT NO SKY GOT IS LOOKING
DOWN YOU AND GOING, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IN BUT
DEMONSTRATING WOMAN IN THE HEART.
I WILL HAVE TO SAY THAT IT IS A LITTLE BIT OF A PET P WHERE
WE OUTSOURCE ALL THE BLADES THE IDEA OF FAITH OR TRADITIONS.
IT IS THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MEDIATING THESE TEXTS AND TRYING
TO INTERPRET THEM AND SO I THINK THAT IS THE ISSUE FOR ME.
FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I DON'T DRINK, PEOPLE SAY IS THAT BECAUSE
OF YOUR RELIGION?
I SAY NO, BECAUSE ALCOHOL IS POISON AND I KNOW
HYPERRESPONSIVENESS I DO NOT WANT TO DRINK AND IF YOU
LOOK AT THE TEXT, THE SPIRITUAL TEXT AND ISLAM, THE WAY THAT
IT IS WORDED IS TRY TO DISSUADE YOU FROM BECOMING INTOXICATED.
IT DOESN'T SAY ALCOHOL OUTRIGHT, IT DOES MENTION A TYPE OF
WINE, BUT THE PEOPLE OR THE COMMUNITY OR THE LEADERS IN
THE COMMUNITY THAT EXPLOIT THAT AND WHAT TO USE THAT TO
CONTROL PEOPLE VERSUS PEOPLE COMING TO THE TEXAN HAVING
INTERPRETATION FOR THEMSELVES AND THING WAIT A MINUTE,
THIS WORD WAS USED DIFFERENTLY OR MEAN SOMETHING ELSE.
FOR ME THAT IS THE IMPORTANT VARIABLE IN OUR SORT OF
CRITIQUE, AND I'M GOING TO BE THE FIRST TO CRITIQUE
RELIGION, ANY SORT OF SYSTEM THAT DOESN'T EMPLOY
CRITICAL THINKING FOR SURE.
I HEAR YOU, I AGREE AND DISAGREE.
YES, ALL OF THESE TEXTS ARE OPEN TO INTERPRETATION AND YOU CAN
INTERPRET THEM IN WONDERFULLY POSITIVE WAYS.
IN ISLAM, THERE'S
SO MUCH LANGUAGE ABOUT HELPING THE POOR AND IT'S ONE OF THE
PILLARS OF ISLAM.
THERE ARE ALSO TERRIBLE WAYS TO INTERPRET IT.
SAME IN CHRISTIANITY, SOME OF THE GREATEST PEOPLE ON
EARTH ARE NOT HELPING THE POOR AND NEEDY AND SOME OF THE
WORST PEOPLE ON EARTH WHO ARE LIKE YES, LET'S RUSH TO
ARMAGEDDON AND MAKE SURE THE PLANET DIES.
LET'S MAKE SURE U.S. POLICY IS GEARED TOWARD MASS GENOCIDE LIKE
THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN WHERE 7 BILLION PEOPLE ARE MURDERED.
YES, IT IS AN INTERPRETATION, THAT IS WHERE I AGREE WITH YOU.
ON THE OTHER HAND, THIS IS ME BEING AGNOSTIC AND KEEPING IT
REAL, AND WE ALL HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION, THE TEXTS
SUCK.
THEY'RE SUPER OLD, NOT TRUE, NO ONE TALKED TO A SKY GOD
AND THEY ARE OLD RULES AND SOME OF THEM ARE TERRIBLE.
